Lynskey To Lead Hulu’s “Castle Rock” TV Series

Melanie Lynskey (“Heavenly Creatures,” “Togetherness”) has scored the female lead role in Hulu’s “Castle Rock” series inspired by the works of Stephen King.

Lynskey will portray a woman named Molly Strand, who suffers from a rare medical condition and is having a hard time as a real estate agent in a town where many of the properties play host to horrifying nightmares.

Jane Levy, Andre Holland and Sissy Spacek are also set to star in the psychological-horror series which will unite the entire King canon. Lynskey has experience with the author, having starred in the mini-series “Rose Red” which was King’s take on both “The Haunting” and the real-life Winchester Mystery House.

Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television are producing the series which J.J. Abrams, Ben Stephenson and Liz Glotzer will executive produce.
